Detective Sergeant Hunter McKenna is on trial, charged with negligent homicide after her investigation into the suspicious death of a local teenager led to more deaths and personal tragedy.

Hunter faces accusations in the courtroom, and is tormented by her own guilt over personal choices she's made. The community's grief demands someone to blame, and Hunter can't deny she's haunted by regret.

As her partner, DS Noah Wilmott, continues to investigate, he wonders if the nightmares plaguing his partner are really Hunter's subconscious, piecing things together, or something more, and when he follows a hunch it leads to answers that will stun a community.
